Motor Speech Disorders

This course focuses on the etiology, neuroanatomy, and symptoms of common neurological disorders and their associated motor speech problems. Types of dysarthria and apraxia of speech are compared to establish a foundation for differential diagnosis. A hypotheses-based context for assessment & treatment is used to form hierarchies and estimate prognosis. We will use a patient-centered and evidence-based practice framework to discuss the impact of multicultural and psychosocial factors on the patient’s participation in rehabilitation.

Voice Disorders

This course considers the anatomic, physiologic, acoustic, and perceptual aspects of normal voice and selected voice problems across the lifespan. A hypothesis-driven context and patient-centered framework is used to develop protocols for prevention of voice problems, identification of risk factors, and promotion of efficient phonation. We will discuss the impact of multicultural and psychosocial factors on voice. Participation in labs links motor learning theory to manner of phonation and facilitates development of goals and identification of appropriate procedures.
